@@maryfreebed9886 Stephen Fry is doing a direct impersonation of Prince Charles at the time, now Charles III because they shared the same name - so I suppose it depends on if you find him especially pompously endearing or not :P Admittedly it is somewhat endearing to see a character so pompous they don't realise they're in any danger

I've seen this about 15 times throughout the years. Quite often the best 15 minutes of television one could ever hope for. Fry playing Charles I as Prince Charles.....genius. It's affected me permanently! If someone's boring me and it's appropriate to do so I sometimes say "fascinating! absolutely fascinating....please...carry on" provoking at best a baffled humourous response, at worst some mild psychosis. Overall - some very memorable quotes from these 15 minutes of bandwidth gold.
